Hello. MY
husband's grandparents died in Maury County,probably Mt Pleasant in ??1891 [ Mary
Cross Cecil age about 41 ] and Feb 26, 1892 [ Samuel Shelby Cecil age about 42 ,said to
have died of consumption]
I have never found a funeral notice nor a place of burial for them.
Her mother,
Mary Jane Lanier Cross. d. Jan 22 1853 and is buried in Hunter Cemetery. Father John
Finch Cross died in War.
HIS parents, JamesHarvey Cecil 7-5-1812---- 12-28-1883 and
Julia Igram Cecil 12.8.1825--- 5-8-1876 are buried with three daughters in Lawrence
Cemetery ....all in Mt Pleasant area.
Two of these sisters of Sam's were still living when Sam and his wife died.... guess
they had NO Family feeling for him though since no one thought to mark their graves.
????
James Harvey's older brothers William and John Cecil [ both with extensive families
] also were living in the area until 1909 and 1910.....
Does anyone know where
Sam and Mary Cross Cecil are buried... ???? or how I might find a record of either's
death ???
Also Are there any descendants of Will iam or John or younger brother Shelby or sister
Nancy Brown [ Samuel Finley Cecil] doing research in the area or on any of these
families.??
Any help greatly appreciated.
